abstract = {The paper discusses the costs and benefits to be expected by least-developed and low-income
(`vulnerable') economies if they accede to the WTO, the impact of current
debates about WTO reform on vulnerable economies, and measures to make it easier for
vulnerable economies to accede to and actively participate in the WTO. The main
conclusion is that the benefits from WTO membership in terms of improved market
access for traditional exports are likely to be limited. However, by submitting a wide
range of trade-related policies to international scrutiny and by entering into binding
commitments on the conduct of these policies, reform-oriented governments in
vulnerable economies can make it more likely that their reforms will be successful.},
